7. Configure the ports
a. Type C,0,0,5 and <Enter>
b. This will turn off the S1 LED since the assigned pin is now configured for input.
8. Continuously read back the port values
a. Type T,200,0 and <Enter>
b. This will return all port values every 200ms or 5 times per second.
c. Press the PGM button to see the port value change.
9. Reset the UBW
a. Type R or r and <Enter>
b. Repeat until the UBW is reset

II. Startup the bootloader if you are ready to load compiled code onto the UBW.

1. Put the UBW into bootloader mode

a. Press the PRG button while plugging in the UBW into the USB, OR
b. Press Reset and PRG buttons and then release the Reset button while holding down the PRG button.
c. The yellow LED1 will blink.
2. Point the device driver loader to the Microchip \MCHPUSB Driver \Release directory for the bootloader driver
(driver identical for both releases).

Driver\Release
b. V1.3 release
C:\MCHPFSUSB\Pc\MCHPUSB Driver\Release
c. The yellow LED1 and red LED2 will alternatingly blink.
3. Launch the Microchip PICDEM FS USB Bootloader on the PC
a. V2.3 release
C:\Microchip Solutions\USB Tools\Pdfsusb.exe
i. Note: USB HID Bootloader firmware is currently not loaded.
b. V1.3 release
C:\MCHPFSUSB\Pc\Pdfsusb.exe
4. Read Device
a. Select PICDEM FS USB 0 (Boot) from pull-down menu.
b. Press Read Device or R to read program memory from UBW .
5. Save UBW firmware to hex file
a. Press Save To HEX File or S to save HEX file.
b. For information on HEX file format see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hex
c. Review the HEX file output.
6. Run user firmware
a. Press Execute or E to run user firmware (Same as Reset).
7. More details on the bootloader
http://www.schmalzhaus.com/UBW/Doc/FirmwareBDocumentation.html

III. Compiling new user-ware
1. Load Compiler
a. Download, unzip, and install the Microchip C18 Compiler (Student edition available for free)
b. Download, unzip, and install the Microchip MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (free)
c. Download, unzip, and install any additional updates.
d. Download available User Guides for future quick reference or create bookmarks.
2. Load User-ware source code project
a. Download, unzip, and install the user firmware source code from
http://schmalzhaus.com/UBW/FW/D_143/D_143.zip
3. Startup MPLAB IDE.
a. Open up the FW_D_2455 workspace from File>Open Workspace
b. Read MPLAB-C18-Getting-Started, additional information available thorough Help>WebLinks
c. To prevent a 62 charter length limitation with the COFF to COD file converter, check Suppress COD file
generation box through menu Project>Build Options...>Project under the MPLINK Linker tab.
d. Build and compile project through Project>Build All or from Toolbar.
4. The output .HEX file can be loaded into the UBW following step 8 of the previous section.
5. Modify the user.c source code for your own project needs.
a. Realize that if you overwrite the bootloader, you will have to reload the UBW bootloader using a PIC
programmer. Usually this will not be an issue unless you modify the linker file or explicitly specify an
address below 0x800, or modify configuration bits which prevent the USB from functioning.

if (PIR1bits.ADIF) Do we have an analog interrupt?
PIR1bits.ADIF = 0; Clear the interrupt
ADCON0 = Update the channel number
ADCON0bits.GO_DONE = 1; And start the next conversion

T0CONbits.TMR0ON = 0; Turn off Timer0
INTCONbits.TMR0IF = 0; Clear the interrupt
INTCONbits.TMR0IE = 0; And disable it
parse_C_packet() if (0 == AA) If we are turning off Analog inputs
ADCON1 = 0x0F; Turn all analog inputs into digital inputs
ADCON0bits.ADON = 0; Turn off the ADC
AnalogEnable = 0; Turn off our own idea of how many analog channels to
convert
else

ADCON2 = 0b10111110; Tad = Fosc/64
ADCON0bits.ADON = 1; Turn on the ADC
AnalogEnable = AA; Tell ourselves how many channels to convert,
T2CONbits.TMR2ON = 1; and turn on ISR conversions
